              Bill Gates talks about ‘vaccines to reduce population’
                               By F. William Engdahl,
 author of Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in the New World Order

Microsoft founder and one of the world’s wealthiest men, Bill Gates, projects an image
of a benign philanthropist using his billions via his (tax exempt) Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation, to tackle diseases, solve food shortages in Africa and alleviate poverty. In a
recent conference in California, Gates reveals a less public agenda of his philanthropy—
population reduction, otherwise known as eugenics.

Gates made his remarks to the invitation-only Long Beach, California TED2010 Conference,
in a speech titled, “Innovating to Zero!.” Along with the scientifically absurd proposition of
reducing manmade CO2 emissions worldwide to zero by 2050, approximately four and a half
minutes into the talk, Gates declares, "First we got population. The world today has 6.8 billion
people. That's headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines,
health care, reproductive health services, we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent." 1
(author’s emphasis).

Bill Gates

In plain English, one of the most powerful men in the world states clearly that he expects
vaccines to be used to reduce population growth. When Bill Gates speaks about vaccines, he
speaks with authority. In January 2010 at the elite Davos World Economic Forum, Gates
announced his foundation would give $10 billion (circa €7.5 billion) over the next decade to
develop and deliver new vaccines to children in the developing world. 2

The primary focus of his multi-billion dollar Gates Foundation is vaccinations, especially in
Africa and other underdeveloped countries. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a founding
member of the GAVI Alliance (Global Alliance for Vaccinations and Immunization) in
partnership with the World Bank, WHO and the vaccine industry. The goal of GAVI is to
vaccinate every newborn child in the developing world.

Now that sounds like noble philanthropic work. The problem is that the vaccine industry has
been repeatedly caught dumping dangerous—meaning unsafe because untested or proven
harmful—vaccines onto unwitting Third World populations when they cannot get rid of the
vaccines in the West. 3 Some organizations have suggested that the true aim of the
vaccinations is to make people sicker and even more susceptible to disease and premature
death. 4

Dumping toxins on the Third World

In the aftermath of the most recent unnecessary Pandemic declaration of a global H1N1 swine
flu emergency, industrial countries were left sitting on hundreds of millions of doses of
untested vaccines. They decided to get rid of the embarrassing leftover drugs by handing them
over to the WHO which in turn plans to dump them for free on select poor countries. France
has given 91 million of the 94 million doses the Sarkozy government bought from the pharma
giants; Britain gave 55 million of its 90 million doses. The story for Germany and Norway is
similar. 5

As Dr. Thomas Jefferson, an epidemiologist with the Cochrane Research Center in Rome
noted, “Why do they give the vaccines to the developing countries at all? The pandemic has
been called off in most parts of the world. The greatest threat in poor countries right now is
heart and circulatory diseases while the virus figures at the bottom of the list. What is the
medical reason for donating 180 million doses?” 6As well, flu is a minor problem in countries
with abundant sunshine, and it turned out that the feared H1N1 Pandemic “new great plague”
was the mildest flu on record.

The pharmaceutical vaccine makers do not speak about the enormous health damage from
infant vaccination including autism and numerous neuro-muscular deformities that have been
traced back to the toxic adjuvants and preservatives used in most vaccines. Many vaccines,
especially multi-dose vaccines that are made more cheaply for sale to the Third World,
contain something called Thimerosal (Thiomersol in the EU), a compound (sodium
ethylmercurithiosalicylate), containing some 50% mercury, used as a preservative.

In July 1999 the US’ National Vaccine Information Center declared in a press release that,
"The cumulative effects of ingesting mercury can cause brain damage." The same month, the
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) alerted the public about the possible health effects associated with thimerosal-
containing vaccines. They strongly recommended that thimerosal be removed from vaccines
as soon as possible. Under the directive of the FDA Modernization Act of 1997, the Food and
Drug Administration also determined that infants who received several thimerosal-containing
vaccines may be receiving mercury exposure over and above the recommended federal
guidelines. 7

A new form of eugenics?

Gates’ interest in inducing population reduction among black and other minority populations
is not new unfortunately. As I document in my book, Seeds of Destruction, 8 since the 1920’s
the Rockefeller Foundation had funded the eugenics research in Germany through the Kaiser-
Wilhelm Institutes in Berlin and Munich, including well into the Third Reich. They praised
the forced sterilization of people by Hitler Germany, and the Nazi ideas on race “purity.” It
was John D. Rockefeller III, a life-long advocate of eugenics, who used his “tax free”

foundation money to initiate the population reduction neo-Malthusian movement through his
private Population Council in New York beginning in the 1950’s.

The idea of using vaccines to covertly reduce births in the Third World is also not new. Bill
Gates’ good friend, David Rockefeller and his Rockefeller Foundation were involved as early
as 1972 in a major project together with WHO and others to perfect another “new vaccine.”

The results of the WHO-Rockefeller project were put into mass application on human guinea
pigs in the early 1990's. The WHO oversaw massive vaccination campaigns against tetanus in
Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines. Comite Pro Vida de Mexico, a Roman Catholic lay
organization, became suspicious of the motives behind the WHO program and decided to test
numerous vials of the vaccine and found them to contain human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, or
hCG. That was a curious component for a vaccine designed to protect people against lock-jaw
arising from infection with rusty nail wounds or other contact with certain bacteria found in
soil. The tetanus disease was indeed, also rather rare. It was also curious because hCG was a
natural hormone needed to maintain a pregnancy. However, when combined with a tetanus
toxoid carrier, it stimulated formation of antibodies against hCG, rendering a woman
incapable of maintaining a pregnancy, a form of concealed abortion. Similar reports of
vaccines laced with hCG hormones came from the Philippines and Nicaragua. 9

Gates’ ‘Gene Revolution in Africa’

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, along with David Rockefeller’s Rockefeller
Foundation, the creators of the GMO biotechnology, are also financing a project called The
Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) headed by former UN chief, Kofi Annan.
Accepting the role as AGRA head in June 2007 Annan expressed his “gratitude to the
Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and all others who support our
African campaign.” The AGRA board is dominated by people from both the Gates’ and
Rockefeller foundations. 10

David Rockefeller and Bill Gates

Monsanto, DuPont, Dow, Syngenta and other major GMO agribusiness giants are reported at
the heart of AGRA, using it as a back-door to spread their patented GMO seeds across Africa
under the deceptive label, ‘bio-technology,’ a euphemism for genetically engineered patented
seeds. The person from the Gates Foundation responsible for its work with AGRA is Dr.
Robert Horsch, a 25-year Monsanto GMO veteran who was on the team that developed
Monsanto’s RoundUp Ready GMO technologies. His job is reportedly to use Gates’ money to
introduce GMO into Africa. 11

To date South Africa is the only African country permitting legal planting of GMO crops. In
2003 Burkina Faso authorized GMO trials. In 2005 Kofi Annan’s Ghana drafted bio-safety

legislation and key officials expressed their intentions to pursue research into GMO crops.
AGRA is being used to create networks of “agro-dealers” across Africa, at first with no
mention of GMO seeds or herbicides, in order to have the infrastructure in place to massively
introduce GMO. 12

GMO, glyphosate and population reduction

GMO crops have never been proven safe for human or animal consumption. Moreover, they
are inherently genetically ‘unstable’ as they are an unnatural product of introducing a foreign
bacteria such as Bacillus Thuringiensis (Bt) or other material into the DNA of a given seed to
change its traits. Perhaps equally dangerous are the ‘paired’ chemical herbicides sold as a
mandatory part of a GMO contract, such as Monsanto’s Roundup, the most widely used such
herbicide in the world. It contains highly toxic glyphosate compounds that have been
independently tested and proven to exist in toxic concentrations in GMO applications far
above that safe for humans or animals. Tests show that tiny amounts of glyphosate
compounds would do damage to a human umbilical, embryonic and placental cells in a
pregnant woman drinking the ground water near a GMO field. 13

One long-standing project of the US Government has been to perfect a genetically-modified
variety of corn, the diet staple in Mexico and many other Latin American countries. The corn
has been field tested in tests financed by the US Department of Agriculture along with a small
California bio-tech company named Epicyte. Announcing his success at a 2001 press
conference, the president of Epicyte, Mitch Hein, pointing to his GMO corn plants,
announced, “We have a hothouse filled with corn plants that make anti-sperm antibodies.” 14

Hein explained that they had taken antibodies from women with a rare condition known as
immune infertility, isolated the genes that regulated the manufacture of those infertility
antibodies, and, using genetic engineering techniques, had inserted the genes into ordinary
corn seeds used to produce corn plants. In this manner, in reality they produced a concealed
contraceptive embedded in corn meant for human consumption. “Essentially, the antibodies
are attracted to surface receptors on the sperm,” said Hein. “They latch on and make each
sperm so heavy it cannot move forward. It just shakes about as if it was doing the lambada.”
15
   Hein claimed it was a possible solution to world “over-population.” The moral and ethical
issues of feeding it to humans in Third World poor countries without their knowing it
countries he left out of his remarks.

Spermicides hidden in GMO corn provided to starving Third World populations through the
generosity of the Gates’ foundation, Rockefeller Foundation and Kofi Annan’s AGRA or
vaccines that contain undisclosed sterilization agents are just two documented cases of using
vaccines or GMO seeds to “reduce population.”

And the ‘Good Club’

Gates’ TED2010 speech on zero emissions and population reduction is consistent with a
report that appeared in New York City’s ethnic media, Irish.Central.com in May 2009.
According to the report, a secret meeting took place on May 5, 2009 at the home of Sir Paul
Nurse, President of Rockefeller University, among some of the wealthiest people in America.
Investment guru Warren Buffett who in 2006 decided to pool his $30 billion Buffett
Foundation into the Gates foundation to create the world’s largest private foundation with
some $60 billions of tax-free dollars was present. Banker David Rockefeller was the host.

Warren Buffett

The exclusive letter of invitation was signed by Gates, Rockefeller and Buffett. They decided
to call themselves the “Good Club.” Also present was media czar Ted Turner, billionaire
founder of CNN who stated in a 1996 interview for the Audubon nature magazine, where he
said that a 95% reduction of world population to between 225-300 million would be “ideal.”
In a 2008 interview at Philadelphia’s Temple University, Turner fine-tuned the number to 2
billion, a cut of more than 70% from today’s population. Even less elegantly than Gates,
Turner stated, “we have too many people. That’s why we have global warming. We need less
people using less stuff (sic).” 16

Others attending this first meeting of the Good Club reportedly were: Eli Broad real estate
billionaire, New York’s billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Wall Street billionaire and
Council on Foreign Relations former head, Peter G. Peterson.

In addition, Julian H. Robertson, Jr., hedge-fund billionaire who worked with Soros attacking
the currencies of Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea and the Asian Tigen economies,
precipitating the 1997-98 Asia Crisis. Also present at the first session of the Good Club was
Patty Stonesifer, former chief executive of the Gates foundation, and John Morgridge of Cisco
Systems. The group represented a combined fortune of more than $125 billion. 17

According to reports apparently leaked by one of the attendees, the meeting was held in
response to the global economic downturn and the numerous health and environmental crises
that are plaguing the globe.

But the central theme and purpose of the secret Good Club meeting of the plutocrats was the
priority concern posed by Bill Gates, namely, how to advance more effectively their agenda
of birth control and global population reduction. In the talks a consensus reportedly emerged
that they would “back a strategy in which population growth would be tackled as a potentially
disastrous environmental, social and industrial threat.” 18

Global Eugenics agenda

Gates and Buffett are major funders of global population reduction programs, as is Turner,
whose UN Foundation was created to funnel $1 billion of his tax-free stock option earnings in
AOL-Time-Warner into various birth reduction programs in the developing world. 19 The
programs in Africa and elsewhere are masked as philanthropy and providing health services
for poor Africans. In reality they involve involuntary population sterilization via vaccination
and other medicines that make women of child-bearing age infertile. The Gates Foundation,
where Buffett deposited the bulk of his wealth two years ago, is also backing introduction of
GMO seeds into Africa under the cloak of the Kofi Annan-led ‘Second Green Revolution’ in

Africa. The introduction of GMO patented seeds in Africa to date has met with enormous
indigenous resistance.

Health experts point out that were the intent of Gates really to improve the health and well-
being of black Africans, the same hundreds of millions of dollars the Gates Foundation has
invested in untested and unsafe vaccines could be used in providing minimal sanitary water
and sewage systems. Vaccinating a child who then goes to drink feces-polluted river water is
hardly healthy in any respect. But of course cleaning up the water and sewage systems of
Africa would revolutionize the health conditions of the Continent.

Gates’ TED2010 comments about having new vaccines to reduce global population were
obviously no off-the-cuff remark. For those who doubt, the presentation Gates made at the
TED2009 annual gathering said almost exactly the same thing about reducing population to
cut global warming. For the mighty and powerful of the Good Club, human beings seem to be
a form of pollution equal to CO2.
